Sean Howard can’t seem to stop building minigolf holes. “Our neighbors hate us,” he says.
When Sean Howard and Carolyn Michaud moved from Seattle to Walnut Creek three years ago, they acquired a new life and something even better.
Howard showed his wife the hole. “I said, ‘Hey, I built this thing.’ She’s like, ‘Oh, that’s awesome! What do you want to do with it?”” One hole became four, then eleven. “Silly me for thinking we would park our car in the garage,” says Michaud. “And since the garage wasn’t quite big enough for Sean’s new ‘hobby,’ it took over our living room, as well. Then it took over the yard.”, a full-blown minigolf course operating in a parking lot in downtown Walnut Creek.
One hole that regularly got a chuckle from players before it disappeared – Howard is always swapping out old holes for new ones –, smaller than the platform you stand on to putt into it. “We named it ‘Big Ern,’ which is the nickname of my buddy in Seattle who’s a little person. We call him ‘Big Ern,’ everybody does. I sent him a picture of the scorecard , and he got a pretty good kick out of that.
